Sea Kings
Like everything else it has to end sometime, surely the Sea Kings are passed their sell by date. The Kings are dead long live the Kings.Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught -

Sea Kings
Ex-RAF so wouldn't be knocking RAF or Navy crews.
We will have to hope that the search&rescue service thats been provider by both RAF & Navy is as good once in private hands.Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caughtComment

Like Duncan, I cannot comment on the lifespan of the Sea Kings. However why oh why are we paying a private American company to provide search and rescue services for the next 10 years at a cost of 1.6 billion?
Why not provide the army/navy with replacement helicopters and continue with what was a very good and often heroic public service?
Private companies must make a profit, so if they can do it cheaper than our armed forces, surely the service must be getting reduced?
Is this what we want? I despair about this and previous governments who just want to save a few quid!!2016 - Cod, Dab, Dogfish, Gurnard, Ling, Mackerel, Saithe, Scorpian fish. .Comment
